August 28, 2010

Mike Hamill reports that the team had two good acclimatization nights in Nyalam with a nice hike yesterday.  Weather is good.  Today the climbers reached Tingri (over 14,000 feet) and the Sherpas continued on and have now established the Base Camp.  Other than a few small headaches, the team continue to acclimatize well. After two nights in Tingri and some more acclimatization hiking, the team will head for Base Camp.
